I ordered new barrels for my 10s. The Glock barrels don't offer enough case support and I'm tired of culling brass because of it. The long slide is waiting on a 6.6" threaded model and I've got a piston in 9/16x24 for an Octane 45 to suppress them. Interestingly, while checking compatibility with SilencerCo, I learned the Octane 45 will handle 10mm and .45 Super but not .460 Rowland. The latter didn't surprise me since it's nearly double the pressure of .45ACP. However, the Hybrid is rated for .460R and I've got one of those too sooooo....

And ARMS...

I'm glad I'm not the only one in this situation. I want a TW helmet to go with NODs...too bad I don't have a spare $10k laying around

Wait, what? Free float means it doesn't touch the barrel beyond the mounting point. How does being a drop-in change that?

I'd leave the end cap as they can affect location of the gas block relative to the gas port with gas blocks that aren't pinned to the bbl.

I've had a lot of crappy routers. The AC68U is the first that legitimately exceeded all of my expectations and has been 100% hassle free. The functionality, ease of use, and sheer power make it a favorite for me. In our house, we have at any given time 2-4 tablets, 3-5 smartphones, 4 wirelessly connected computers, two NASs, and a laptop directly connected to the router. It's a ton of work to keep up with but the AC68U handles it all without skipping a beat.

I love the AC68U from Asus at home. It reaches from the basement to the second floor and a solid 50' outside of the house.

6" at 50 yards is pretty bad. These large bore AR15s aren't great as far as accuracy goes but you should be around 2" at 100 yards even with ballistically poor projectiles. The only thing I can think of that's throwing your rounds off that badly is a bad barrel. Or at a minimum, a barrel that isn't suited for the ammo you're putting through it.

I'm over book max but have no pressure signs nor are primer pockets loosening and my 18" bbl is averaging 2850fps.

Get a pound of 8208 XBR. I had the same issue with H4895 which is a little longer stick than Varget. After switching to 8208 XBR, I haven't looked back. It meters great in my Dillon (+/-.1gr), doesn't bridge the case mouth, and it's completely temperature insensitive like Varget and H4895.

I use 75gr Hornady BTHP bullets. They're relatively cheap without sacrificing performance. My precision .223 uses IMR 8208 XBR for powder. It's a short extruded powder that I have found meters +/- .1gr in my Dillon measures. Being a short powder, it doesn't bridge across the case mouth the way longer powders like H4895 do (which I use for .308). My load is near max but out of an 18" bbl, I'm getting 2850fps with the 75gr Hornady HPBT and sub-MOA accuracy.

I've done these before and the more or less universally requested items are: Sunscreen/block Insect repellent Snacks like beef jerky and GS cookies Foot/hand warmers Powdered drink mixes like Gatorade or Propel The shipments that I've coordinated in the past were for friends who were deployed. The boxes I've contributed to have almost always been attached to a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troupe.

That's because they know people will drop $3k on a rifle and skimp on feeding it properly

We thought about it but the nearest dealer is five hours away and Tesla needs to build at least one more supercharging station between us and Chicago to make it work. I'm sure we'll end up with a Tesla of some sort within the next five years as both my wife and I want one as a commuter.

The only thing I don't like about .45 Super is sorting the brass out from .45 ACP. Otherwise, it's an awesome round.

I considered building a long slide in .460 Rowland for my G20 frame but ultimately decided against it. Even with a 24lb recoil spring, based on what I've read, you want a compensator of some sort to help handle the round and increase longevity of the host firearm. It's a particularly attractive round to me as I also already load .45 Super which is sort of a halfway between .45 ACP and .460 Rowland but the addition of a compensator, for whatever reason, turns me off to the idea.

I have not had good experiences with older ZQI in .308. It was loaded so hot, the cases were bulging and primers were piercing. I lost a firing pin in one which was unfortunate.

Because the way you posed you question basically treats all projectiles as equals simply because some fuckwad who should be burning in the hottest hellfire for eternity managed to kill a bunch of people with FMJs. My remark about .22LR is an extension of that position.

.22LR also accounts for the most firearm deaths annually. By your lgoic, we should be using 10/22s and 22/45s for HD. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't want every advantage in defense of yourself and/or loved ones.

Handgun calibers suck at stopping threats relative to rifle rounds. Myself, I'll take every advantage I can get because you have to remember that as the good guy, violence is brought to YOU on the bad guy's terms. Your training, mindset, and gear all play into your ability to overcome that disadvantage and fight to win.

Rifle rounds dump energy in building materials much more efficiently than handgun rounds which tend to retain their energy therefore rifle rounds tend to exhibit less penetration in common building materials than handgun or shotgun rounds.

Federal HST in the HD pistols.

Typically in situations like this, the vendor will pay UPS to perform a pick up.

I like this definition: "Doing the right thing when no one is watching."
